Yes, it is newer, the reason for this is the delta between what CURRENT
has and this is small, and I did not want to impact CURRENT while its
frozen getting ready for release.

That delta between CURRENT and this is also not just some hacking of
mine, its from my Intel release that has gone thru a whole test/validation
and bug fix period of months.

I would actually have liked to update BOTH CURRENT and STABLE with
this but I was holding off on CURRENT because there are no critical
bug fixes it doesnt have, and its about to be made into a release.

Cheers,

Jack
